ORLEANS — A 43-year-old Dennis Port man was sentenced Thursday in Orleans District Court to nine months in jail with 90 days to serve after pleading guilty to a charge of possession to distribute a class B drug.

A second charge against Nelson Gonzalez Jr., conspiracy to violate a drug law, was dismissed at the request of prosecutors.

Gonzalez was given 58 days credit on the 90 days he was required to serve, according to court documents. The balance of the nine-month sentence was suspended, with Gonzalez on probation until March 12, 2021.

Gonzalez was arrested after police executed a search warrant at 12:40 p.m. Jan. 15 at 130 Main Street, Unit 9, in Dennis Port after police made several controlled and documented purchases of crack cocaine at that address earlier in the month, according to a police report.
